Always have a contractor show proof of a current certificate of insurance for the company and the scope of work you are requesting.

According to OSHA standards, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, hardhats and other protective clothing must be worn when tree care is involved. Make sure the company is following the legal standards for safety.
